Many thanks to Bj, Eg, and Tom First thought about Bj's "Leave on server" was great and checking with my ISP was also an OK, but then how about the mails that I reply or send out during trip? Not perfect? ...
The .mbx and .toc transfer should do the job, with more time consuming and less convenience though. Thanks for sharing your experience.
